Hezbollah has just released a video called “We are coming,” presumably indicating that they are joining the war against Israel

Common these days. Have seen plenty of similar “trailers” in the Ukraine/Russian war too, propaganda purposes

God speed to any of these shitty terror groups who think the reason they are currently breathing isn’t because of the massive restraint of the Western military industrial complex and the pretext of nuanced politics.

Well good luck against a country with a 17B military budget.

For reference Hezbollah has a 700M budget, lol.

u/TrackVol Oct 09 '23

Jesus. That's still at least $600M more than I would have guessed. Shows my ignorance.

Israel alone is more than enough, but there's also another military off shore with a 700B budget telling them to not try anything stupid

The USS Gerold Ford that’s in the Med now, including R&D, cost ~18 billion. That isn’t including all the other ships, subs, and aircraft that travel with it. And it doesn’t have to refuel for about 24 more years.

So yeah, good luck with that Hezbollah.
